Product Description

Maximum Control: Quantum's exclusive ACS system is now the cast control standard because it's the most accurate braking system ever designed for baitcast reels. The external dial allows you to adjust the centrifugal brakes to perfectly match your fishing situation, without having to disassemble the reel.-"Burner" 7.0:1 Gears: Available in every PT baitcast series, our ultra-high-speed "Burner" gear system allows you to rip your bait back to the boat faster so you can cover more water, targeting the hot spots more effectively in a shorter period of time.-Pour On The Sauce: Quantum Hot sauce contains a special, proprietary blend of synthetic and organic additives to provide the ultimate balance in performance, protection, durability, and smoothness in both grease and oil for all fishing equipment.-Customized Bearings: Most reels use stock bearings made for other applications. Not ours. We designed our own high-grade stainless bearings to exact specs to minimize vibration and friction. Then we fit them in a special polymer cage for added sensitivity and corrosion protection.-Ceramics Take The Heat: PT drag systems feature ceramic washers to dissipate heat during long runs. We also use ceramics to reduce wear in our baitcast levelwind systems.-Unyielding Metal Construction: All PT reels begin with single-piece aluminum frames, each machined with computer-guided precision, to hold all critical components in perfect alignment. We use special high-strength grades of aluminum to yield lightweight reels that will not flex even during heavy cranking.

I want to start out by saying this is the 4th Quantum pt series reel i have bought and is by far the worst casting reel bar none i have ever had the misfortune to use! I do not know if it is the size (150) or the new ACS3 cast control system,but I experienced backlashes that I've not seen since high school. To top it off,the line got stuck twice between the frame and spool from poor tolerances resulting in having to remove sideplate and spool to try to get out.the.birdsnest. I still ended up having to cut the line. Not cool with $17 a spool InvisX.I had hoped the Acs3 system would have given me more fine tune capabilities cause it has 4 times the adjustment settings than the Energy and Catalyst but was never more than 1 click away from a short cast or a disaster with the Smoke.

Light, strong, smooth and it casts a mile. I've upgraded my arsenal to Smoke HPTs, PPTs and SPTs. Now my son wants to use my rigs rather than his Energy-armed set-ups. Some people have reported back-lash problems with the new Smokes but I have not had any such issues. I highly recommend these reels.
